Long be- fore the hours set for the commence- ment Of morning and evening wor- ship, the pews began to fill up, and even the extra seats failed to accom- modate the crowds which attempted to get into the church.

Stratford Likely To Have New Bus System In the very near future Stratford 'expects to have a new bus system, a Sarnia company intending to take over the franchise held by Howard Hodgkins, who has successfully oper- ated the Stratford Coach Lines for a riod of four years. During this time r. Hodgkins has made many busi- ness as well as personal friends, and it isshoped that the change in business will not necessitate the former owner pf the bus service leaving Stratford. ford is « city large enou;:h to warrant and they are starting off with two new busses, and have promised that additional busses will be added to the fleet as the traffic demands. In Sarnia, they claim that during the past year, their "company carried no less than half a million passengers, That's extraord- inary for a city the size of Sarnia They don't expect to carry half a Tuiillion passengers here the first year, but they do claim that they can build up the traffic to a thousand a day. It takes courage and _ confidence these days to plunge into a new ,en- terprise and spend money the way this new company is doing for new Times have not been good for the past few years in any city in the Dominion, and Stratford, ; during the last monih-or more, has | had the added worry of a strike which has tied up one of its leading indus- tries and thrown eight hundred of its workmen out Of work. No person is kidding himself that it was not a ser- ious situation, although it appears to, be clearing now. The optimism of the Sarnia men would make one wonder whether the people living here have enough con- fidence in the future of their own city. The new bus company is look- ing forward to a successful career here, and most of us will hope that they are not disappointed. Somehow, we believe that they are men of the type which are an asset to the city. COCHRANE CHOSEN TIGERS' MANAGER "Mickey" Will Not Only Be Pilot But Will Play As Well DETROIT, Oct. 20.--That Gor- don S. "Mickey" Cochrane, catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics, will pilot the Detroit Tigers of the Am- erican Paseball League in 1934 is considered certain in the "inner" sport circles. The visit of Coch- rane to Detroit is the preliminary step, and Cochrane will be the play- ing manager next season. Frank Navin, owner of the De- troit Tigers, has announced that he has not closed with the Philadel- phia catcher. Navin is a shrewd baseball man and does not want to release the news of Cochrane's ap- pointment until after the present football season closes. With the daily newspapers crowd- ed with football "dope,' Navin ap- preciates the fact that he will not gain th same publicity that he will later in the season when the sport fans are not football-minded. The Tigers have been in the mar- ket for a catcher, while Cochrane will serve as both a catcher and a manager and the money the Detroit owner will invest to secure the new pilot will be well spent. A number of other prospects as manager of the Tigers to succeed Stanley Harris have been named, but Navin has chosen Cochrane. He will be the popular choice not only in Detroit but throughout the entire circuit. When the old football uniforms are stored away in moth balls, the appointment of Cochrane will be confirmed.

The Earl and'Countess of Bessbor- ough carried with them from Strat- ford a lasting memento of their visit to Stratford. An illuminated copy of the address read by Mayor Graff, bearing the coat of arms of the city, hand-painted, and bound in leather, was presented to His Excellency . One thing about the Bessboroughs impressed those which immediately with whom they came in contact was their friendliness and desire to put everyone at his or her ease. When meeting distinguished guests, such as the King's representative, one is like- ly to feel self-conscious, especially if he is not accustomed .toO associating with the nobility--and not many of us are. The Bessboroughs tried to dis- pel that feeling of self-consciousness, and they were generally successful. -When Lady Bessborough had a few minutes to herself, while waiting for the Governor-General to inspect the guard of honor, she _ chatted with those near her on the platform. She might have been a neighbor just back from a week's holiday, so informal was the conversation which she car- ried on, If to be witty means that I must sneer At.every honest effort to be good, Must laugh and joke at all the brave revere, And scorn what isn't clearly under- stood; Lord! keep me from the sin of being smart!

Fort Erie Resident Has Valuable Possession FORT ERIE, Ont., Oct. 20.--(C P)--Should the Earl of Bessbor- ough desire a cup of téa when he visits the ruins of old Fort Erie next Tuesday Charles Viall, 82; can offer it in an unique way. He has carefully preserved the cup and saucer, dinner set and candelabra used by the last official represen- tative of the Crown to visit this district, King Edward then Prince of Wales, in 1860. Yellowed with age the set is still serviceable despite the fact it has not been used since 1860 when Mr. Viau's mothereand father person- ally served the Royal visitors.
